In January of 2016, we shared a YouTube video from composer/producer Grant Woolard in which he created a mashup of 57 famous classical tunes by 33 different composers. One year later, Woolard has returned with a sequel.
In "Classical Mashup II," Woolard has combined 52 composers and 31 classical themes into one six-minute piece. In the video, you can find melodies by typical classical music giants like Mozart and Beethoven, but there are also some surprises this time around — for example, watch for a quote of John Cage's 4'33" around in minute-four.
How many themes do you recognize in the video below?
